Yes, use instructions for bleeding after a filter change. See attached.

If primer lever stroke action seems short, bump the starter so the pump cam rotates away from the pump.

Ensure the membrane is protected with sand before laying the stone to avoid piercing the membrane.

Yes. The ignition switch uses two contacts for start/run. START position energizes the fuel shutoff relay which feeds back into itself to create a self latching state. The RUN position allows the self latch to continue until no longer in the RUN position (OFF), which interrupts the self latch thereby cutting off fuel. So you need to determine why the ignition switch RUN position doesn't maintain the fuel relay self latch state.

Suggest a cranckcase leak test to locate leak(s) other than rings. You need to seal the intake and exhaust ports and pressurize the crankcase via spark plug hole. No special tools other than an adapter from sparkplug hole to compressed air. The intake and exhaust ports can be sealed with pieces if old bicycle inner tube between carb and port and muffler and port. Then apply 5 to 10 psi to spark plug adapter. Spray case seams and shaft seals with WD40 or soapy water to locate slow leaks.Search "two cycle crankcase leak test" for videos.

Hello Joe How old is the battery? Battery life in mowers is bad because they usually aren't well looked after in the winter, 6 months use and 6 months neglect. Also fuel is often left in the tank and in the carb which goes funky. Do you have a compression tester?

Hi Joe Still having trouble with that old mower! I thought you fixed it? You stated the reason it was turning over and lock up the mower had the wrong starter on it the Starter Motor Drive Bendix had 16 teeth and the mower needed a Starter with 14 teeth so I changed the Starter out. That's what I did. I reckon you are using batteries that are wearing out and don't have the required amps. Jump start the mower using your Santa Fe with the engine running. Or take the batteries to an Interstate Battery shop and ask them to test them. That is free, but they can also pulse charge them to desulphate the plates. There is a small charge for that and they keep the battery for 24 hours. Other things you can try. Remove the starter and connect it direct to the battery. See if it spins freely? Turn the engine over by hand to see if there is stiffness. Then do it with the plugs out. ..

This is what it looks like. The only unusual thing is the funny L-Shaped connector and the long length of bare cable which looks like the outer sleeve is held by the oval piece. If you have that oval piece is is an easy replacement. A local motorcycle shop could make you one, or try Jack's Small Engines, he is the expert. https://www.mower-atvparts.com/Remington-Chainsaw-Throttle-Cable-753-06409_p_3393.html https://www.google.com/search?q=Remington+Rodeo+chainsaw+replacement+throttle+cable ..

The Craftsman part number 66054 corresponds to a link arm, but without specific details or access to Craftsman's database, it's challenging to provide the exact length of this part. To find the precise length of the link arm with part number 66054, I recommend checking the product description or reaching out to Craftsman directly through their customer support or website. They should be able to provide you with the accurate information you need.

Here are the advantages of using HDPE pond liner sheets for constructing a pond:

• Durability and Puncture Resistance: HDPE is a tough material that can withstand wear and tear. It's resistant to punctures from rocks, roots, or other sharp objects that might be present in the soil under your pond. This translates to a long lifespan for your pond liner, minimizing the need for replacements.
• UV Resistance: Unlike some materials that degrade under sunlight, HDPE liners are UV resistant. This means they won't become brittle or break down over time when exposed to the sun, ensuring the liner lasts for many years.
• Chemical Compatibility: HDPE is non-toxic and resistant to many chemicals. This makes it safe for fish and plants in your pond, and it won't leach harmful chemicals into the water if you need to treat the pond with certain substances.
• Suitable for Large Ponds: HDPE liners come in large sheet sizes, making them ideal for constructing bigger ponds. The large sheet size reduces the need for seams, which can be weak points in a liner, and simplifies the installation process for larger ponds.
• Relatively Easy Installation: While professional installation is always recommended, HDPE liners are lighter than some other pond liner options and can be workable for DIY projects. They can be welded together to create a secure seam, and their flexibility allows them to conform to the contours of your pond.
• Cost-Effective in the Long Run: Although the upfront cost of HDPE liners might be higher than some other options, their durability and low maintenance requirements make them a cost-effective choice in the long run. You won't need to replace them as often, and they can help prevent leaks that could damage your landscaping or require repairs.

I'm glad you're asking this! A vegetable garden is one of the most rewarding projects you can take on as a garden. And I can think of a few forgiving vegetables you could start with. If you want something low-effort, then salad greens - such as lettuce and spinach - are excellent choices. They grow quickly and can even be harvested multiple times. You can begin harvesting leaves as soon as they're large enough to eat, encouraging new growth for future harvests. Radishes are another ideal option for beginners. They are one of the fastest-growing vegetables, taking only about a month from sowing to harvest. And they are easy to care for. Carrots are easy to grow too. They need loose, sandy soil to expand their roots but are otherwise unassuming. Just sow the seeds directly into the ground and keep the soil moist. You should still research each veggie and look up gardening tips for all of them. Sites like Gardener's Yards can help you with that. But you should be able to grow all of these without much headache.

Removing the guard on your Black & Decker Grasshog electric weedeater GH600 can be tricky without three hands, but here's a method you can try: 1. Use a flathead screwdriver or a similar tool to depress one of the springy tabs while holding it down. 2. While holding the first tab down, use a second tool (another flathead screwdriver, a pair of pliers, etc.) to depress a second tab. 3. Once you have two tabs depressed, you should be able to use your free hand to push or pull the guard away from the trimmer. 4. If needed, use the same method to depress the third tab and completely remove the guard. Alternatively, you might ask someone to assist you by holding down the tabs while you remove the guard. If you're still having trouble, refer to the user manual or contact Black & Decker customer support for further assistance.
